Marie Mueller

Episode 70 Marie Mueller

43 year old mother of two, Marie Beula Mueller vanished in Frontenac, Missouri in March, 1972 during a messy separation and divorce from her husband, Dr. Donn W. Mueller, D.O

Dr. Mueller claimed that after returning home one day, he found his young chidlren home alone, and his estranged wife was missing although her car was still in the driveway. Dr. Mueller did not report Marie missing immediately and when he finally did, he claimed that she had taken a large sum of cash and jewelry with her. In the aftermath of Marie's disappearance, Dr. Mueller told his kids that their mom abandoned them, and went on with life as usual. But a string of witnesses came forward to tell police troubling details about Dr. Mueller in the time leading up to his wife going missing; details that included fraud, and discussion of how to murder his wife and dispose of her body to cover up the crime. Depite the belief by most people that Marie Mueller died at the hands of her husband, or that he played some kind of role in her disappearance, he was never charged in connection with Marie's case, and he went to his grave taking any secrets he had with him.

Decades later as adults, Marie's children wanted to learn more about what happened to their mom, and were stunned when a police file detailing the case against their father came to light. In this episode, Marie's daughter Donna discusses her mom's case, and the troubling details of her father's possible involvement in her disappearance.

At the time she vanished, Marie Beula Mueller was described as standing 5'4" - 5'6" and weighing 100-110 pounds. She had Red hair, blue eyes.and may have went by the nickname 'Sam'. Her maiden name is Smith. She had curved, claw-like fingernails, mastectomy scars on her chest, and two scars on her abdomen, one of which is from an appendectomy.
